Answer:
c. 15% or more
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope. So if a line has a slope of 2, a line parallel to it also has a slope of 2.
Use the slope formula which is;
slope= (y2 - y1)/ (x2 - x1)
slope= (9-1)/ (8-4)
Slope= (8)/(4)
Slope= 2
We have the equation:

We know two points and we will use them to calculate the parameters a and b.
The point (0,3) will let us know a, as b^0=1.

Now, we use the point (2, 108/25) to calcualte b:
![\begin{gathered} y=3\cdot b^x \\ \frac{108}{25}=3\cdot b^2 \\ 3\cdot b^2=\frac{108}{25} \\ b^2=\frac{108}{25\cdot3}=\frac{108}{3}\cdot\frac{1}{25}=\frac{36}{25} \\ b=\sqrt[]{\frac{36}{25}} \\ b=\frac{\sqrt[]{36}}{\sqrt[]{25}} \\ b=\frac{6}{5} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20y%3D3%5Ccdot%20b%5Ex%20%5C%5C%20%5Cfrac%7B108%7D%7B25%7D%3D3%5Ccdot%20b%5E2%20%5C%5C%203%5Ccdot%20b%5E2%3D%5Cfrac%7B108%7D%7B25%7D%20%5C%5C%20b%5E2%3D%5Cfrac%7B108%7D%7B25%5Ccdot3%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B108%7D%7B3%7D%5Ccdot%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B25%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B36%7D%7B25%7D%20%5C%5C%20b%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B36%7D%7B25%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%20b%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B36%7D%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B25%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%20b%3D%5Cfrac%7B6%7D%7B5%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
Then, we can write the equation as:
Answer:
C. 2x² + 6x - 1 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
2x² - 3 = -6x - 2
2x² - 3 + 6x = -6x + 6x - 2
2x² - 3 + 6x = -2
2x² - 3 + 6x + 2 = -2 + 2
2x² + 6x - 1 = 0
Hope that helps.
